Yacht Charter Malta: Planning your sailing adventure

There are essentially three ways that you can charter a yacht in Malta.

With this arrangement, you are responsible for everything once you set sail.

This type of package is ideal if you’ve got extensive sailing experience.

2) The second way is to charter a yacht with a skipper or crew. If you’re looking for a totally relaxed and stress-free sailing adventure, then this is for you.

You can choose from a variety of vessels and the skipper or crew will navigate and sail, while you and your guests enjoy the scenery, relax and sunbathe on deck, take a dip or sample the food … Heaven on earth!

3) Finally, you can also book yourself a yachting cruise.

These types of cruises are the cheapest way to experience a little bit of sailing and also visit secluded bays and coves around the Maltese islands.

A very popular destination of such cruises is the Blue Lagoon on Comino island.

Usually you will have enough time to spend the whole afternoon swimming in this breathtakingly beautiful lagoon. Snacks and a full buffet lunch are also usually included in the price.

With these cruises you will be sharing the vessel with other guests.
